The Ford Mustang is undoubtedly an American icon. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan in March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964. It was, and remains, one of the most successful product launches in automotive history, with the original Mustang selling over one million units in its first eighteen months alone. After five previous generations diluting the original 'Pony car', the sixth-generation arrived in 2013 to widespread consideration that Ford has perhaps returned the Mustang to its glory days. Publicly unveiled on the 5th of December 2013, in Dearborn, Michigan, New York, Los Angeles, California; Barcelona, Spain, Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia, with the internal project code name; S-550, with three engine options available: a newly developed 2. 3 litre EcoBoost with 310bhp, a 3. 7 litre 300bhp V6, or the 5. 0 litre Coyote 435bhp V8 with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A new independent rear suspension system was developed specifically for the new model. It also became the first factory version designed as a right-hand drive export model to be sold overseas through the Ford dealership network in right-hand drive markets.
This intimidating 5. 0 litre V8 special edition was initially imported by Bill Shepherd Mustang in 2015. Part of a limited edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack run, just 1, 964 examples were released to pay homage to the first generation Mustangs of 1964. It boasted retro stitching throughout, a retro-look instrument cluster surround and exclusive Black leather upholstery embossed with the Mustang 50-year logo. Chrome accents around the rear tail-lights and a special 50-year plaque on the dash noting this limited edition's place in history complete the many upgrades. The model was marketed as a 2014½ model, paying tribute to the original 1964½ model.
Further modified from factory, Fortis Auto Design worked closely with renowned specialists to create this one-off bespoke example. Additions include a bespoke wide arch moulded body, lighting, suspension and exhaust upgrades. Arguably most notable is the fitment of scissor doors that give the Mustang additional flair. Offered displaying just c. 27, 000 miles, the Mustang has a history file including documented service history, showing a recent service at Ford Bury St Edmunds, a collection of MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until July 2025 and a current V5C document. This truly one-off Mustang is undoubtedly not for shrinking violets and harks back to how original Mustang owners would upgrade their 'pony car'.
